AUGUST

An historic moment for the Eircom League, as Drogheda United progress to the third round of Champions League qualifiers and draw Glasgow Celtic. In a shock result, Drogheda triumph 2-1 on aggregate, sending Ireland into mourning.
Taoiseach Bertie Ahern sends his aide de camp to Dublin Airport to commiserate with Gordon Strachan's men before they make the journey home. Strachan is sacked, and is immediately installed favourite to become the Irish gaffer.



:D Funny because it is true

I think Mr. McDonnell will be busy accepting phonecalls today....quality stuff though, I especially like his prediction about the Drogs knocking Celtic out of Europe! Nice to see that he gives the FAI a hard time about the managerial appointment aswell. From the amount of time it is taking, to the appointment of the committee...the whole 'selection process' is a farce.

[holidaysong]

Great stuff. :D

[dapman1]

Thats brilliant, very funny stuff

[pateen]

class stuff.

Status Quo.....not far from the truth there really

[onceahoop]

Hilarious stuff.

As they say in the North; a joke with a jag.

I'd say Daniel has ruffled a few feathers there.

[amjl]

So in a nutshell...

The Sunderland bandwagon rolls on, Drogehda have another good season, Limerick have another crap season & the FAI haven't got a clue what they're doing, nor will they they ever!!

Sounds about right.:D

[cheifo]

Well done Daniel, hugely enjoyable reading.

[Réiteoir]

Meanwhile, in the Eircom League, preparations for the new season continue at pace, but chaos reigns when a number of clubs arrange warm-up games for the leap year date of February 29.
They are fined €500 each by the FAI's Disciplinary Commission for staging matches on a day that doesn't exist.

Don't give them ideas lads :D

[Dave77]

great stuff

[Keen2win]

First class :D

[SligoBrewer]

Was reading this today in work..

Nice one Daniel.:)

The Celtic/Drogs thing is funny cause it's true.:(

[ramsfan]

The latest FAI Disciplinary Commission missive causes confusion as Limerick 37 are fined €37,100 for having three diagonal corner flags and one of the square variety for their joust with Kildare County at Jackman Park.

feckin limerick again always trying to pull a fast one, i heard from a person at the game that he say danny drew cutting bits off the flags, heard its going to court next week to fightt for the right of reattachment of said flags

[blackholesun]

fantastic stuff!!!

[Poor Student]

Very intelligent stuff, he has fan's feelings down to a tee there!

[ColmM]

Very enjoyable article.

[CharlesThompson]

I'd say the fine is in the post Daniel!

[ramsfan]

he will have to wear a disguise to get into press conferences in future:D

[onceahoop]

Didn't some FAI suit allegedly make disparaging remarks about Daniel at the FAI christmas party or something like that.

Ah yes, the pen is mightier than the (s)word.

Name and shame !! :p

[eirebhoy]

Very intelligent stuff, he has fan's feelings down to a tee there!
Certainly when it comes to the international team he has represented the popular fans opinion on foot.ie. The first journalist to come out and slate Venables when Fanning et al were doing all they could to build him up as a great manager.

[ramsfan]

deserves amedal for that, cant help feeling we are being railroaded into venables being appointed

[nijboyle]

Excellent stuff!
